Summary
Dae-jin Lee is an assistant professor and applied statistics researcher with 10+ years of experience translating complex, multidimensional data into actionable insights using non-parametric smoothing, penalized spline methods and GLMM frameworks. Based in Madrid, he leads research at IE School of Science and Technology after directing the Applied Statistics group and Knowledge Transfer Unit at BCAM, with prior postdoctoral work in risk analytics at CSIRO. His work spans spatial and spatio-temporal modeling, functional data analysis, sensor networks and health-mortality forecasting, combining rigorous statistical theory with computationally efficient implementations. He is noted for bridging advanced smoothing techniques (B-spline penalized likelihoods) with practical visualization and stakeholder communication, enabling real-world adoption of sophisticated models. An economist-trained statistician with dual BSc degrees and a mathematical engineering master’s, he brings both methodological depth and interdisciplinary perspective to data-driven problems.
